Synthesis and properties of the addition polymer of benzenedithiol with divinylbenzene

Polyaddition of 1,4-benzenedithiol (BDT) to 1,4-divinylbenzene (DVB) was carried out with 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile initiator in toluene at 75°C under a nitrogen atmosphere. The polymerization proceeded without an induction period, to give a white polymer with a high molecular weight (M?_w = 110,000) in ca. 90% yield for 2 hr. It was confirmed by ¹H-NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), IR (infrared) and sulfur contents that the polymer had an alternating structure of DVB and BDT units. The end-capping reaction of the polymer was also achieved by addition of thiophenol and/or styrene to the polymerization solution at a final stage of the polymerization. The polymer film exhibited a reversible phase transition between a transparent state and an opaque one by thermal mode. The thermal property of the polymer was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis and polarized optical microscope observation with the polymer film. The detailed DSC analysis showed that the end-capped polymer with a relatively low molecular weight (M?_W = 4400–9600) exhibited similar to liquid crystalline behavior. A diffuse reflectance spectrum of the polymer coated on an aluminum plate showed a marked difference in reflective light intensity in the ultraviolet and visible regions: the reversible phase transition between an opaque and a transparent polymer layers was induced by thermal mode. The light transmittance of the polymer film, which was measured by depolarized light intensity method, was very sensitive toward the temperature variation.     

Synthesis and crosslinking of polyethers that have mesogenic cores and propargyl groups

We modified poly(epichlorohydrin) (PECH) with biphenyl carboxylic and naphthalene carboxylic acid derivatives which contains propargyloxy moieties. The linear polymers were characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, DSC and TGA. We obtained only one side chain liquid crystalline. A smectic A mesophase of this biphenyl derivative was identified by DSC, light polarized optical microscopy and X‐ray diffraction. Thermal crosslinking of the aryl propargyl ether group via sigmatropic rearrangement took place while the material was in the isotropic phase. Partially curing this reactive liquid crystalline polymer resulted in the formation of an anisotropic elastomer when the curing was radically initiated in the range of mesophase stability. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The DSC curve showed a clear melting temperature and isotropization at 72 and 148°C, respectively, with a glass transition at 25°C. The observation of a fan‐shaped texture confirms the presence Smectic A phase under an optical polarized microscope.

Solvent-Free Mechanochemical Synthesis of High Transition Biphenyltetracarboxydiimide Liquid Crystals

A series of high temperature alkyl and alkoxy biphenyltetracarboxydiimide liquid crystals have been prepared under ball mill method using solvent-free mechanochemical approach. The thermal properties of the prepared compounds were investigated by deferential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements and the textures were identified by polarized optical microscope (POM). The compounds showed smectic mesomorphic behaviour. The results showed the increasing nature of transition temperature Cr-SmC with chain length with increments of the SmC mesophase range. However, the mesophase range of the SmA was decreased with the terminal chain length either for the alkyl or alkoxy terminal groups. Moreover, the DFT theoretical calculations have been conducted give a detailed projection of the structure of the prepared compounds. A conformational investigation of the biphenyl part has been studied. A deep illustration of the experimental mesomorphic behaviour has been discussed in terms of the calculated aspect ratio. A projection of the frontier molecular orbitals as well as molecular electrostatic potential has been studied to show the effect of the polarity of the terminal chains on the level and the gap of the FMOs and the distribution of electrostatic charges on the prepared molecules.
